Poll Would you date a bearded lady? (86 votes)

I'm a dude and no, I'm too shallow and constantly worry what others would think. 65%
I'm a dude yes, I only care about how much money my partners make. 16%
I'm a lady and no, I only date dudes with beards. 1%
I'm a lady and yes, and I'd be jealous of that sick face rug. 2%
Abstain, I'm too much of a coward to be candid, but I still want to see the results. 15%

I got to wondering, would I be able to date a woman with a beard? I think something about that European singing thing brought this to mind, and it's sort of been floating around my subconscious for the past few weeks. Assuming this woman was pretty much perfect in every other way, could I get over my shitty, socially-informed reservations and date a woman with a beard? I have a bit of a face bush myself, isn't it pretty lame for me not to allow a woman the same freedom? I'll admit it's almost entirely on my face from a combination of laziness and double-chin self-consciousness, but it is there. Why can't some awesome lady be allowed to grow and equally awesome beard? Does it make it better if she wears exclusively flannel shirts and carries a giant axe with her everywhere? (Yes.) Also, why does Chrome think "axe" isn't a word?

I might do it, but only if she agrees for us to, at least once, braid our beards together to form one viking Voltron-mega beard.

Relationships are part attraction and part companionship.

I wouldn't be attracted to a woman with a beard. That doesn't make me a slave to social norms. It means I'm not physical attracted to her, and the relationship would lack half of what would make it work.

I fall in love with people, not what they look like or the bodies they have. I have my preferences (I find very feminine features the most attractive - but that means I can also be physically attracted to men too) but they're always second to whether there's a romantic and emotional connection.

I chose abstain but I'm a lot closer to the top answer, only I would word it like this: "I'm a dude and no, I'm too shallow and constantly worry what I would think."
I like short hair on a lady. So having a face full of it would be a no, also I would debate there is nothing shallow about it, we all have types we are attracted to, physically or emotionally and to say that you aren't attracted to someone is never shallow, no matter what the reason, it's just the truth.

There are two faces where a woman could be bearded and I'd be down for one of them.

It's not about being shallow and caring what people thing, but physical attraction is a thing, you can't deny that, and beards on chicks aren't my thing.

This a pretty great joke though, A+.

@video_game_king: I'm sorry, that was incredibly bigoted of me. Moon folk (again, sorry if this is a racially insensitive term) have different motivations than us Earth simpletons (simpleton seems fair based on how long it took me to decide how to spell "simpleton"). Feel free to abstain from this, but because you're a higher being.

Also, is it customary for Moon women to be clean shaven or bearded?

Initially I was like, no, but then I thought about it, and if it was a really nice beard and she was really pretty in every other way, it wouldn't actually be that bad.

"I'm a dude and no, I'm too shallow and constantly worry what others would think."

This answer is bullshit, just because I think a beard on a girl is gross, means I'm shallow? If I prefer blondes over brunettes does that mean I'm shallow too? What does my criteria for physical attractiveness have to do with the depth of my personality....

I'm a dude who's not attracted to someone else with a beard. Don't really think I'm all that shallow for thinking that.

If only you would have left the stuff after the commas out.

But to answer your question, I am a dude and it wouldn't bother me.

Maybe. Also a side note. I recently discovered I dig chicks with shaved heads. Not sure why, but I find it attractive. At least on the few I've seen anyways.

Yes, like that but also a few with full shaved heads (Portman). She is one of them. Maybe with her its just because I find her so striking regardless. And same with the others. Like Natalie Portman and a few others.

If she was beautiful and fun otherwise, I could deal with the beard, there are a lot of other traits that are much less desirable and common than a beard on a female.

As a man who is incapable of growing a beard, I fear my seething resentment over milady's ability to sprout one would lead to a brief and volatile relationship, so probably not.

I was into a girl with peach fuzz once, but if we're talking lumberjack beards, then I'm sorry.

So far, this is my favorite answer. What if she kindly donated her beard fibers to you? She is, after all, the perfect human. Completely selfless. Willing to give her fantastic beardly prowess to you, simply because it might bring you joy.

No, because contrary to how much people don't want it to be true: appearance matters. If I'm not attracted to someone, which in this case would be a lady with a beard, there is no point in dating her. Yes, she can have a wonderful personality. That means I can be friends with her possibly. In my experience, if you're not attracted to each other physically your relationship will start to fade. It's a biological normality to want an attractive partner. It's not 'shallow' to want that. What's shallow is thinking only personality matters. There's more to it than that.

I originally voted "No, that's super gross". Now that I've thought about it a little bit that beard might really tickle my clock weights during service.

As long as no one ever found out, I'd give it a shot.

You're only shallow (in this context) if you're basing who you want to date purely/mainly based on looks. Just because you find someone unattractive doesn't mean you're shallow. Different people are attracted to different things in men and women, and that's totally fine.
